Burly 2017 "Special Selection" Cabernet Sauvignon

NET PRICED WINE - NO FURTHER DISCOUNT

We’ve been fans of Burly for close to 20 years. Owner Hank McCrorie, a North Carolina native and longtime friend of Taylor’s Wine Shop, has joined us for many memorable tastings and events over the years. Both Hank and his wines have never failed to impress the Taylor’s faithful.

The Special Select Cabernet Sauvignon represents the very best of Burly’s longtime work with the Simpkins Vineyard in Napa Valley’s Coombsville AVA. After years of working this site, Hank and his team know the vineyard inside and out, identifying the blocks, rows, and individual vines that consistently produce its most exceptional fruit.

Barrels from these prized rows are kept separate in the cellar. From that small selection, just the two finest barrels are chosen and bottled separately as Special Select.

2017 Special Select Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2017 Burly Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold, structured red wine crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the cool-climate Coombsville appellation of Napa Valley. On the nose and palate, it offers concentrated aromas and flavors of blackberry, ripe cherry, black currant, and cassis, layered with complex notes of espresso, dark chocolate, baking spice, and well-integrated French oak. Its full-bodied profile features plush, mouth-coating tannins and a persistent, smooth finish. This rich Napa Cabernet pairs best with hearty dishes like grilled ribeye steak, roasted rack of lamb, braised short ribs, venison, and aged hard cheeses
